We are now at day 25 of triple digits.

I was doing a little research and

 found this little tidbit about the 1980 heat wave.

I had only been in Texas about three years when this happened.

By DAVID FLICK / The Dallas Morning News/2010

It was 30 years ago that a 42-day string

of 100 degree days –

the longest heat wave by far

in the region's history – was broken.

For one day.

More triple digits followed,

and when autumn mercifully arrived,

temperatures had hit the century mark 69 times.

Some people had theories

about what was causing the heat wave.

One letter writer to the mayor's office said

the Soviet Union had installed space platforms

with lasers beamed at North Texas.

 Another said the heat was God's wrath

at people who were gambling

on the outcome of the television show

 Dallas' who-shot-JR episode.

Other people had remedies.

On July 20, people performed a rain dance

 near the Turtle Creek fountain across from Lee Park in Dallas,

asking those who couldn't attend to

 "concentrate their thoughts

on thundershowers to provide enough

energy to manifest a rainfall."

For the record, it rained the next day –

though not enough to break the heat wave.

Feeling cooler now?

I know I am.

A positive note,
the laundry only takes about 30 minutes on the line!!!

Till next time,

Snow In Dallas Texas...... Again!!!

!!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE!!!!!

REALLY.... More Snow!

I received a phone call this morning from Sue, (life is a journey).

She was just checking on me, worried about the snow we were getting.

I was still under the snuggly quilts when the phone rang so

I was a little disoriented when I answered the phone.

I couldn't see outside to know if there was snow or not!

My husband Steve put sheets of foam in all the windows
to keep the house warm,

good for keeping out drafts, not so good for seeing outside.

We chatted for a few minutes, I was assuring her we were ok,
still had power

and wasn't sure if we had snow or not.

Today is her birthday so Pops and a few family members were

 whisking her away for a day of fun

before their next wave of this awful weather hit.

We said our good byes way too soon, I had a million questions for her.

You blog about your life, your doings, your thoughts and

you put it out there for anyone to read.

 You hope people read and respond.

You in turn, read and respond to their blog.

You feel that these other bloggers are your friends.

I consider all my blog buddies friends and
I care about what's going on in their lives.

If you're in a blizzard, cyclone, heat wave,
having a bad day, whatever, I'm worried for you.

Sue was worried for me, is that awesome or what!!!?

And in case you're wondering,

opened the door enough to let the dogs out,
about 6" of snow, no power outage and spent the day cooking, canning,

and playing board games with my grandson Nathan.

This is for Teresa,
Welcome Teresa, I hope you enjoy what you read here
and I hope we can become blog buddies.
We all need as many buddies as we can get.

Till next time,

stay warm or cool depending on where you are.

Bonjour
